List of Ingredients




2 cups of fresh, washed spinach
½ cup washed cilantro leaves
1 small green chilli - diced
small piece of ginger - diced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tblsp coconut powder
½ tblsp olive oil
5 - 6 mint leaves - for that final touch!

Recipe



Keep a medium-sized frying pan on heat, add olive oil.
When the oil becomes hot, add cumin seeds and fry for1 minute. Then add chillies and ginger and fry until the ginger becomes light-brown.
Now, add the cut spinach leaves, mix well and cook until
they become soft and lose their moisture.
Remove from heat and keep aside for about 10 minutes, allowing it to cool.
In a blender, put the cooled spinach, cilantro and all the
other ingredients.
Blend very well so that the spinach leaves mix with all the
spices to form a smooth paste.
Add a little water if required.
Garnish with mint leaves and transfer to a serving dish.
Optional serving: This dish has a lovely green hue when
cooked well.
It can also be served as an appetizer at the beginning of
the meal.
Just add ½ cup of water, mix well and serve in soup bowls and wait for rave reviews !!
